The Quiet Marriages

Yvonne Degner writes the kind of books that make you side-eye the person sitting next to you on the train. A former behavioral researcher turned full-time author, she crafts taut psychological thrillers about marriages with secrets, neighbors with agendas, and the lies we tell ourselves to sleep at night.

No ghosts, no conspiracies — just ordinary people capable of extraordinary deception. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her rescue dog, Sherlock, who is a terrible detective.
